Simplifying the Deployment of IIoT Applications - Axiomtek's ICO310 DIN-Rail Field Controller

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. - March 14, 2016 - PRLog -- Axiomtek, one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of innovative, high performance and reliable PC-based industrial computer products, is proud to announce the new ICO310, the industry's first field controller with the Power over Ethernet Powered Device (PoE PD) function. The ICO310 is a robust DIN-rail IIoT (Industrial IoT) embedded platform which offers high CPU scalability for a wide variety of application processing needs. It offers the high performance/low power consumption Intel® Celeron® dual core N3060 1.6 GHz or quad core N3160 1.6 GHz processors.

This outstanding field controller offers extensive storage capabilities and rich I/O options for expandability. The ICO310 is notable for its ability to receive power through PoE at IEEE 802.3at compliance (up to 25.5 watts of power) - making the system highly reliable since it can be backed up by an uninterruptible and compatible power supply. This feature-rich embedded controller offers scalability and high flexibility in terms of application designs and installation options. Additionally, the wide range 12V-24V DC terminal block power input with overvoltage and reverse protection can lower the risk of data loss under human manipulation. The robust ICO310 is a perfect solution for industrial IoT applications such as smart energy, smart factory automation, facility monitoring systems and more.

"Axiomtek's new ICO310 offers higher safety standards through the use of PoE as an option to power the device to protect network equipment from power overloading and underpowering." said Maxine, product manager of Axiomtek's Product PM Division. "Furthermore, the feature-rich ICO310 can help simplify network installation, which can save on total deployment costs including electrical power cabling cost and help reduce the product's deployment time. It is also available with 3G/GPRS as well as Wi-Fi connections for flexible communication and data transferring options or use as an IoT gateway. The ICO310's ultra-light weight and compact design is the answer for applications in space-constricting environments while its robust IP40-rated housing and wide operating temperature range ensures that it can operate reliably in a variety of extreme environments."

The application-ready ICO310 supports the MODBUS communications protocol and AXView 2.0 intelligent remote monitoring and management software for industrial IoT applications - allowing users to effectively manage a variety of systems with a wide range of industrial interfaces. The ICO310 is versatile and can be used in many challenging environments, especially as a cost-effective gateway for industrial IoT applications. By providing control centers with effective remote connectivity and ease of manageability of its connected devices, the ICO310 can help promote productivity and operational efficiency. It can also help simplify the process of application deployment and can help system integrators as well as end users achieve their project and business goals with high return on their investment.

The ICO310 is available now. Axiomtek provides a wide array of intelligent IoT & M2M solutions, industrial panel PCs, systems & platforms and embedded boards & modules solutions.
